Following is the payoff table for the Pittsburgh Development Corporation (PDC) Condominium Project. Amounts are in millions of dollars.   State of Nature Decision Alternative Strong Demand S1 Weak Demand S2 Small complex, d1 8 7 Medium complex, d2 14 5 Large complex, d3 20 -9   Suppose PDC is optimistic about the potential for the luxury high-rise condominium complex and that this optimism leads to an initial subjective probability assessment of 0.8 that demand will be strong (S1) and a corresponding probability of 0.2 that demand will be weak (S2). Assume the decision alternative to build the large condominium complex was found to be optimal using the expected value approach. Also, a sensitivity analysis was conducted for the payoffs associated with this decision alternative. It was found that the large complex remained optimal as long as the payoff for the strong demand was greater than or equal to $17.5 million and as long as the payoff for…

    Blueberry, Inc. is a cell phone manufacturer serving the North American market. Current annual demand of their product in North America is 5,000,000. Over the next two years, demand in North America is expected to go up by 50 percent with a probability of 0.80, or go down by 15 percent with a probability of 0.20. Blueberry, Inc. currently has a production facility in N. America with a capacity of 5,000,000 units per year while the variable production cost per phone is $10. Each phone sells for $35.   Blueberry, Inc. is contemplating on adding 5,000,000 units of capacity to the plant which will incur an additional fixed cost of $75,000,000. Assume that Blueberry, Inc. uses a discount factor of 12 percent.   a. What is the probability that the demand will be more than 10,000,000? b. Will you recommend the option to to Blueberry's VP for Supply Chain? Explain.
    Case – Recreational Park Project 2024 The public has recognized the benefits of recreation and parks as essential to their health and quality of life. A recent survey conducted in 2022 found that the construction of more recreational facilities was a top priority among residents of Lazarette Town on Fugit Island. As such, the town council in Lazarette, with the help of other key stakeholders, has sourced and secured three (3) million dollars of grant funding from the Caribbean Wellness Community (CWC) for the development of a mini outdoor recreational park on four (4) acres of land donated by a benevolent resident of the town. The park will contain sporting facilities among other recreational facilities (e.g., walking trails, children playground, tennis court, basketball court, work-out stations, benches, shower facilities, an Olympic size swimming pool, restrooms etc.). All major key stakeholders and sponsors have unanimously agreed that that the facility should cater for residents of…
